Turkeys - lets see em

First Wisconsin bird of the year

 

[Pucky Freak]

2 for 2 on 2019 public land gobblers!

This bird spotted my jake decoy from about 150 yards out and came in on a string with a hen in tow. He attacked the decoy, but I could see his head the whole time so I didn't dare move. He eventually went into full strut facing away from me at 20 yards. When I lifted the gun the hen saw me, then he broke strut and instantly died. I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning. Found 4 BBs in his chest and thigh where another hunter injured him earlier this year.

Wisconsin, public land. Fall 2018. Got away from hunting for a long while and this was my first harvest since starting back up. Great day.

My boy’s Montana turkey. He came in after 15 minutes of calling and one gobble. Shot him midday, and was great eating.

A nice medium-small bird about 22.5# I think he was a 2 yr old. Someone shot him before I did - I think last year maybe.

I used a box call I built myself, which is always special - at least to me.

Nebraska was a slog and the weather wasn’t exactly ideal this weekend, but I was able to give one tattered jake the business on my last day.

Got a Hunts for Heroes vet on his 1st longbeard last Saturday (his 1st-ever Arizona big game animal!). One more turkey hunt w/ another veteran this weekend. #HealingThroughHunting #SmilesForMiles

2019 Got my first turkey ever with my daughter on the box call! We’re officially gobble junkies now.

I think you may have made a lifelong hunting buddy

Iowa double

Got out before work, up at 3:30, hour and change drive, before I even set up he was gobbling every minute on the minute. Came in behind a hen and the old 870 (my dads first pump) w/ standard barrel full choke, and 2-3/4" turkey loads(only chambers 2-3/4") dropped em in his tracks. I hope you enjoy my spray paint camo job I did to it as a teenager, with my dads approval of course.

Pagosa: You guys got eastern's up that way? Cool, I didn't know that, I've been enjoying chasing the Merriams so much the last few years down this way.

Got my first turk yesterday! Small Jake, but I only have two and a half days to hunt in Maine this year before I head back to NY. Called in a big mature Tom but couldn’t get a shot at him this morning.

Another guy out of our camp filled two tags with one shot at a couple 20+lb toms (2nd pic).

One more morning to hopefully fill my second tag!
